Love Island All Stars contestant Gabby Allen is set to cause a stir when she returns to the villa for the ITVX spin off.
Gabby shot to fame in 2017 when she was paired up with Blazin’ Squad's Marcel Somerville on the dating show. Following their split, the blonde fitness fanatic hit the headlines after being linked to married Dan Osborne who was going through a rocky patch with EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa.
Gabby was labelled a 'home-wrecker' when she was spotted living it up on a yacht with the married father of three in Marbella. Jaqueline was said to have left Dan after finding a flirty message he sent the reality star and social media influencer. At the time Gabby and Dan fiercely denied any wrongdoing, but Jacqueline later said people thought of her as a 'doormat' for taking Dan back.
Speaking about the controversy before she heads into the villa, Gabby said: "I feel like I'm so far removed from that situation now. It's mad that people would like even bring it up. I mean me and Dan were just mates but we weren't that good mates for it to warrant continuing a friendship.
"Do you know what I mean? It's like that was a long time ago and we knew each other for a very short amount and that was it. I mean yeah. I just hope that it doesn't cause issues for them. It was a very long time and I feel like everybody's moved on and I hope things are good with them."

Reflecting on her own heartbreak, Gabby said: "Things did end quite badly. I think it's more it just really knocked my trust because you know not only was it a cheating situation, but how it happened like the circumstances was just wild you know.
"We haven't spoken for six years so I feel like there would be if he was to go in the villa there would be conversations to be had I suppose but I wish them all best and I I hope that we could like find some sort of like common ground to you know move forward and not look backwards.
"It was a long time ago now and it's water runs the bridge and there's literally no hard feelings and I feel I feel like if I saw him, I'd actually be like I feel like we could be friends because we were good friends like and that's why we lasted for so long anyway. As I said, it was a long time ago, but um I feel like I built myself back up after that, you know, I've I feel like I've got my trust back in men. But you never know."
